THIRTY four years after a Sidmouth Royal Navy Captain completed his basic training he re-visited the parade ground to inspect the Navy's newest recruits
Captain Peter Lambourn took part in the inspection during a parade at HMS Raleigh in Cornwall to mark the anniversary of his passing-out-parade.
He also presented prizes to the top recruit and to the class who had achieved the best overall marks.
Capt Lambourn said: "I still vividly recall my time at Raleigh, and the pride I felt at passing out, with my classmates, in front of my family.
"It was an honour and a real privilege to be able to come back and be part of this occasion.
"This was a special day for me, but more importantly, it was a special day for those passing out, who now move on to their specialist professional training."
